Burkesville St. Project's lowest cost from Stotts Construction Sometimes 'Change Orders' result in the lowest cost for projects. Apples & Apples. Draft plans, draft materials list, not final plans, final materials list used in bid process for Burkesville Street Project bidding after change order rescinded; when correct plans and materials list is used as a comparison, Stotts Construction Company's 'Change Order' work would have been the lowest by over $111,000 dollars. More importantly, had the contract not been rescinded, the work would most likely have been complete at this time. After the Downtown Project was completed late summer 2014, few would argue that there is any better work done by any contractor, anywhere, than what Stotts Construction Company of Columbia, Adair County, KY does. By Ed Waggener When bids were advertised for the Burkesville Street project after the CAUD Board of Commissioners rescinded an earlier change order which would have given the work to Stotts Construction Company, the plans circulated and materials listed were from a draft - not the final - plans drawn by David Bowles of Monarch Engineers. This error included the ommission of the "4-inch line" Chairman Tim Baker cited in a letter Friday evening, August 14, 2015, to ColumbiaMagazine.com. That error resulted in the omission of $111,374.50 in costs which were inclued in Stotts Construction Company's charges for the project. Adjusting for that amount, cost for the project, from lowest to highest would have been:
"I voted no because I was acting under the advisement of Attorney Damon Talley that the project should be rebid with the 4" line included with no change orders. That way, all parties would be on a the same playing field. "I had no problems with Stotts Construction Co.; whatever, or with the Stotts family."The responsibility for the substitution of the wrong plans and material list could have happened will likely be a question in future meetings. The CAUD Board of Commissioners meet Tuesday morning, August 18, 2015, at 8amCT, at 109 Grant Lane, Columbia, KY, with the Burkesville Street project the only matter before them.
